Meet the Easy Hikers

Marlys and Michael discovered hiking in their 40s and are making up for lost time by doing as many easy hikes in their own backyard (France and Germany) and wherever they go on their holidays. Let them show you where to have civilised encounters with nature.

After 20 years of living and discovering everything there is to discover in Paris, they now have a fresh playground to sniff out around their new home in the French and Italian Riviera.
